Chapter 43
SAGE
I was so lost in my thoughts while I was walking back to my chamber. When I left His Majesty's office, Elara was already waiting outside the room. I can't help but blush thinking that she might hear all the noises His Majesty and I made when we were inside the room. As I made my way back to my room, suddenly bumping into someone I have no interest of meeting is the least that I was expecting. Our eyes met and I know I still have that feeling I had for him. But it wasn't like it was before. Despite what he did, I still couldn't change the fact that he had been nothing but good to me since we were young. He's the reason why I manage to stay in that horrible place despite what his father and sister did to me. But all the love I had for him were gone, if not lesser than it was before. It makes me wonder whether it was truly love that I felt for him that time or I just felt grateful and obligated because of his help. But seeing how I was easily swayed by my connection with His Majesty, it seems like I I was just fond of him and thankful for protecting me all those years.
"H-Hi, Sage," he greeted nervously, his voice wavering. Then his eyes widened as he noticed Elara standing behind me. "I-I mean, Lady Sage," he quickly corrected himself.
I gave a brief nod in acknowledgment t and continued walking past him. But I hadn't taken more than a few steps when he called out to me again.
"L-Lady Sage, c-can we talk?" he stammered, his voice trembling. His eyes were soft, and guilt flickered within them.
"What is it, Colt?" I asked, turning to face him fully.
He hesitated, glancing repeatedly at the person standing behind me. I blew out a loud sigh before I turned to Elara.
"Elara, can you please give us a moment?" I requested gently.
She looked at me with hesitation in her eyes. She had witnessed the incident with Colt before, and I could see the worry etched on her face about leaving me alone with him again. She parted her lips to protest but quickly shut them, swallowing her concerns. "Yes, my lady," she replied, her voice tinged with reluctance. She walked a few meters away, just far enough to give us privacy but still close enough to keep an eye on the situation. "Thank you," Colt said once Elara had stepped back.
I turned my gaze to him, my patience wearing thin. "What is it that you want to talk about, Colt?"
He took a deep breath, his shoulders sagging slightly. "First, I want to apologize for what happened last time. I didn't mean for it to go that way. I was consumed by jealousy. I can't stand the fact that that... that

king stole you away from me."
"Please watch your tone, Colt," I interrupted sharply. "You're still within his territory, and I expect you to show respect for His Majesty."
He seemed taken aback by my immediate defense of the king in his absence. His eyes widened slightly, the realization of my loyalty sinking in.
"And if this is about what happened last time, it's okay. I have already forgiven you," I added, my voice softening slightly.
Colt's expression softened, but there was still a shadow of regret in his eyes. "It's more than that, Sage. I... I realize now that my actions were driven by more than just jealousy. I was scared. scared of losing you, scared of what might happen if you're truly meant to be with him."
